House System

 

        

The High School Leckhampton adopts a House system as we feel that this will allow each child to fully immerse themselves in our school’s values and is at the heart of our pastoral care provision. Along with being a part of a happy, safe, and supportive community, the House system allows all pupils to engage with the spirit of competition throughout the school day.  

Each child who joins the school is placed in one of our four Houses. These Houses are: 

• Chelt - Ms K Nelmes
• Isbourne  - Mrs L Pike
• Lilley Brook - Mr G Collins
• Windrush  - Mrs V Bull

All pupils will go through a journey during their time at The High School Leckhampton, much like the rivers and tributaries we have named our houses after, and we believe that their journey will be an incredibly positive, enjoyable, and enriching one! There is a wealth of opportunities for all students to get involved in, from varied house competitions to the house council. We strongly believe that the more the children put into their school experience, the more they will get out of it! 

Although each house has its own “personality”, certain principles apply to all. Each house provides pupils with an education of the highest quality so that they leave The High School Leckhampton with the qualifications, skills, and personal qualities they need to lead a successful life.  

All Houses Aim to Ensure: 

• A commitment to the highest academic standards 
• A caring and stimulating environment  
• A partnership with all pupils and parents 
• A supportive community is established and achievements are celebrated 
• A wide range of House activities and competitions are available to students including Sports Day, House events and House assemblies 

Through our pastoral systems, each House demonstrates an unwavering commitment to the welfare of each pupil and as such, safeguarding procedures are followed as and when necessary.  

As the school grows, so will the pastoral team of the school, and Head of Houses will be appointed to support the happiness, safety, and welfare of all pupils in their house.
